Velocity of the ball (v) = 22.2 m/s
Distance from the base of the building where the ball falls (d) = 36.0m
We know that, Velocity (v) = distance (d) / time (t)
From the above equation,
Time (t) = distance (d) / velocity (v)
Substituting the values for distance and velocity in the above equation,
Time = 36.0/22.2 = 1.62 seconds

When the ball is falling down, it accelerates due to gravity
This acceleration (a) = 9.8 m/s²

Now we need to find the height of the building.
The equation of motion for an object with constant acceleration is,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Where,
s = vertical displacement, which is height of the building in our case
u = initial velocity of the ball = 0

Substituting all the above values in the equation of motion,
s = (0 × 1.62) + (1/2 × 9.8 × 1.62²)
s = 0 + (25.72/2) = 12.86 m = 12.9 m which is the height of the building

Therefore the building is 12.9m tall

Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?
sweet [91]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale  the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.
